This is how Narendra Modi gained popularity through fake photographs

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi won the elections with a sweeping majority in 2014, the whole Internet almost went on a mission to showcase Modi’s humble background. How he sold tea when he was young, how he had to face hardships and how he apparently swept floors for a living.

A black-and-white photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi holding a broom and cleaning floor had gone viral. In fact, BJP supporters used this particular picture in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls as a part of their election campaign.
